A study published last month in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests this worry is misplaced. German researchers tracked more than 500 heart attack survivors and found having sex carries no greater risk of triggering another heart attack than climbing the stairs or taking a brisk walk.
While some 100 heart attacks, strokes and other cardiac episodes occurred in those studied over the next ten years, no link was found between these and sexual activity - the scientists found that only 0.7 per cent of those studied had had sex in the hour before their heart attack.
However, the situation might be different for those who are being unfaithful. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found men were more likely to experience 'sudden coital death' - a fatal heart attack during sex - while having sex with someone other than their wife
